    Its okay, we don't need to agree. We don't have similar tastes or interests in toons, but we don't have to. That's what makes people interesting. How boring if we were all alike.

    Sales will speak for themselves, but with deep dish sales triggered by bundle purchases it will be difficult to ascertain whether it is girl or the sale which is sealing the deal with buyers.

    As far as the need for a different style of male toon- I don't honestly think we'll agree on that either, but yeah, I do think they could do something different. And no reason we can't have both.

    But we all know men's content doesn't sell, so change is unlikely. Since there is only one figure in the lineup that is male (that we know of). We aren't likely to see another male for some time.

    If all you are doing is pinups, you probably don't really need a male (or female) counterpart. If you are doing illustrations, though, or anything with a cast list of more than one, you need at least something stylized in a "style" that doesn't clash. Although if you are just using the figures for sources for dial-apinning, that is less of an issue.

    I don't know how popular the original Girl was, but the Girl4 morph got used a lot in dial-spinning. Which has only continued, since the dials are much easier to spin nowadays, and there are far more more dials availabe. 

    I rather suspect that the Freak was intended as the Girl's actual counterpart. They were both exaggerated Toon figures of a very particular kind of retro style. But if there was any real attempt to pair them on DAZ's part, it didn't last. PAs made counterparts for both of them. And eventually (although it took a while) DAZ brought out their own versions.

    Though TBH, Even though she is supposed to be Asian, she doesn't look very Asian to me....

     

    This looks what I'd really call Asian.  She's gorgeous, and to me, looks like Lucy Liu.  I have her in my wishlest but have to wait for a sale.

    https://www.daz3d.com/ps-onishi-for-genesis-8-female--victoria-8

    Hmmm, damn.

    How did I miss this character; wishlisted. :)

    Yep, my wishlist is the story of my life.  Wish I had 'discretionary' income that I could blow on whatever I wanted!!

  • I was looking forward to grabbing Bestie (finishing up my Girl 8 Pro purchases download now), but despite mentioning it a couple of times now, it hasn't been fixed.  I'm not seeing the 51% discount on Bestie, which I should since I now own the Girl 8 pro bundle.

    I was hoping this would get fixed by now so that I could avoid contacting Sales Support again, but alas despite doing a bunch of things (restarting browser, restarting computer, removing and re-adding Bestie to my cart throughout the day, purchasing something else as a separate purchase today, etc.) no joy.

    These sorts of things can become rather irritating after a while.

    Support doesn't watch the forums far as I know, and neither Hinky nor I can do anything about sale prices not working- contacting the sales support is the best thing you can do. i hear there are some people also struggling with an incorrect sale price on Girl bundle+add ons, all I can say is to ask support. And also add my empathy- the couple times in the past that has happened to me, I was sooooo impatient!!  Hope it gets worked out soon. :)

    If internet related, start by clearing cache; most effective and simple enough. If that doesn't work can try other stuff, but is likely a waste of time. Not sure which browser you use; Firefox: Go to Options > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data; the pop up has a couple of options - try just deleting cached data. With Chrome: Open up menu (Top right usually)  > More Tools > Clear Browsing Data > again there are various options for deletion, can start with just cached data (images, files etc).

    I always wait for sales as a matter of principle; funny last three or four days I've removed from wishlist a lot (not bought), and added few.

    My first image with a Girl 8 character. This one is VYK Midge. I really love the look of the Girl 8. I really like the Razors Edge Outfit, too. 

    KM, your render is just gorgeous!!!

    @ Havos

    Thanks a lot for your answer!

  • Rieke77Rieke77 Posts: 619

    @ Cortex

    So is the actual bundle itself when you have the 3 addons in cart 52.9 as the calculations showed  for people without the banner discount ?

    Yes, that´s right!

    I think, I need several more pro bundle to get an extra discount.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Well you definately show with that render that Girl 8 needs a Guy 8 to be able to story tell in renders with.

    Here's a simple render of the brand new Girl 8 :)

  • KnittingmommyKnittingmommy Posts: 8,191

    My first image with a Girl 8 character. This one is VYK Midge. I really love the look of the Girl 8. I really like the Razors Edge Outfit, too. 

    The rim light on her left side looks great, and I really like the hair you chose, @knittingmommy.

    - Greg 

    @Algovincian  Thanks, Greg. I appreciate it. And, yes, that rim lighting worked really well. The hair just seemed to fit the overall look I was going for. It's one of the new ones with the Girl Bundle, Sloane Hair by AprilYSH.

    The extra 30% off for owning Girl 8 still isn't working for me. I thought last night it just wasn't showing that I purchased the Girl 8 pro bundle, so I waited untio today but still not getting the extra discount and I have P3D morph pak @ 51% off and bestie's place @ 30 % off in my cart, no additional 30 % off for owning Girl 8.

    Super! It reminds me of a toon version of Elizabeth for Victoria 8.

    Is it just me or does the Sloane Hair look a bit like Babydoll's hair from Sucker Punch? Someone so needs to do a Girl 8 as Babydoll fanart render! lol :)

    I really appreciated the bonus content offered with this promotion, thank you DAZ! 

    It definitely helped push me to purchase the Pro Bundle and several Add-ons during the week of release. So many of the other promotions were offering freebies that I owned already, the worst being Daz Horse 2 and all the Starter Bundles I already owned, so this being the first promotion where I could actually get a few things from my wishlist, I actually bought much more than the free limit as a show of support. 

    While I love stylized 3D toon characters, I was on the fence about this particular Girl 8 release. Personally, I think there's something really strange about the look of her nose, lips, cheeks, and eyes... proportionally, the nose looks too long for The Girl; it hangs very low and is overly rounded off, almost bulbous and lacking contours. The lips are also very uncharacteristically narrow and thin for The Girl, who typically had a very wide set mouth with fuller lips, higher cheekbones and protruding rounded cheeks. This Girl 8 looks like a toned down Aiko 4 American morph with more rounded eyes.

    I must say though, the Published Artists are doing great work — I'm definitely grateful for all the great Add-ons available, especially:

    The Girl 7 for The Girl 8
    FWSA Destini for The Girl 8
    VYK Patty for The Girl 8

    Hazel for The Girl 8
    P3D Hailey for The Girl 8
    P3D The Girl 8 Morph Pack

    FSL The Girl 8 Mix and Match Dialed Shapes

    All these definitely made The Girl 8 a valuable addition to my library in Daz Studio...

    I disagree.

    Looks great there, but increasing his eyes a little would do it. Guys frequently have more normal eyes I've noticed.

    I didn't even think of it till you said something, but you're totally right! and after reading your post it dawned on me that I inadvertently got a pretty good outfit for Babydoll in the sale for The Girl as well! https://www.daz3d.com/seifuku-for-genesis-2-female-s

    Here's the render I did with your idea.
